This paper presents the view that prevailing resentment |
|
against new immigrants and other ethnic minorities has |
|
clarified for many educators the need for teaching all |
|
students skills to resolve conflicts and reduce violence |
|
in schools. The paper advocates that peace education be |
|
integrated with multicultural education as a way for |
|
students to learn these skills, and elaborates on a |
|
multidisciplinary approach to the integration of peace |
|
education, including links to psychology and political |
|
science. On the premise that a long-term approach to |
|
developing peacemakers and conflict resolvers is |
|
necessary, as less than half of short-term violence |
|
prevention programs have claimed to reduce violence, the |
|
paper presents an action plan which includes several |
|
approaches: (1) integration of human rights education |
|
into the social studies curriculum; (2) enhancement of |
|
classroom management/discipline systems that blend |
|
cultural diversity with peace education and conflict |
|
resolution; and (3) increased use of technology to |
|
prepare children and youth to live in harmony with a |
|
national and global diversity. A resource directory of 51 |
|
curriculum guides, literary resources, and classroom |
|
strategies is appended. Contains 35 references. (KDFB) |
